Grocery club success!

Well folks, here it is. Some of you have been asking how I only spend about 60$ on food for the month. Some things you won't see on there are rice and lentils and maybe some other things that I just generally keep in my pantry. I don't have to buy those every time but when it does come around I budget for them.

oh my word.

ok. first off let me apologize for my lack of photos.

Moving right along. I went to Aldi today to try to get some groceries for cheaper than normal. WRONG. This place was really no better off than Kroger. I was sorely disappointed. Maybe sometimes they have good deals on a couple of things? Or maybe it is the meat that is really discounted? I don't really know what is the draw to this place. I didn't purchase anything at this "discount" grocery store. Instead Marcus and me went to Kroger right after our Aldi experience where I got a whole lot of grocery for 58.07. Booyah Aldi.

Absent

sorry for my absence. my grandfather passed away last Monday and i drove to Alabama. Two good things about the trip, seeing all my family and free food.

While in Alabama I had an ramen salad, and remembered I had a great recipe for a delicious salad. So I thought I would share with you.

Wendy Kelly's Cabbage Salad

Mix together:

1 large package cole slaw mix or one head of shredded cabbage

1 box frozen green peas

Dressing:

1 Tbs. poppy seed

1 tsp. dried mustard

salt to taste

5 chopped green onions

1/3 cup white vinegar

2/4 cup oil

1/2 cup sugar

Add 1 cup peanuts and dressing to taste

(probably enough dressing for two salads)

It really is delicious.

Oh and an Aldi supermarket just opened in my neighborhood. I think I'm gonna check it out today and see if the savings are legit.

new diet.

my new diet consists of candy. good lord, the easter bunny brought me so much candy.
